3/13/19 Dispatches from the road. Sorry it’s late, Travel day yesterday. 10 hours from Eugene to Modesto. Beautiful country! Unfortunately I got to the hotel and was deathly ill. Shivering and fever. Headache, even after a bunch of advil. Finally broke about three and I’m human again. We have an evening show at the Gallo Center tonight, then two morning shows tomorrow and then the tour is done! #theoneandonlyivan #freewaygorillas #lifelinetheatre #nationaltour #oregon #eugene #california https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_vMeGgUBx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g5dop1w212we

3/12/19 Dispatches from the road. For the first time in 9 days, I am not going to bed in Washington. We had a wonderful two shows in Tacoma at the Pantages Theatre. Great crew, great houses. After we traveled to the B & I mall. THE mall where Ivan spent 27 of his 50 years. It was a complicated emotional experience. And the people there have complicated relationship with Ivan, his life there and his memory and legacy. His former enclosure is now a detritus filled storage room at the end of a hallway. So we paid our respects and moved on. Then it was on the road (good ole I5) south, through Portland and stopping in Eugene for the night. Tomorrow is a HUGE travel day, 9 hours before you factor in stops, ending in Modesto, the last city of our tour. #theoneandonlyivan #freewaygorillas #lifelinetheatre #nationaltour #washington #tacoma #pantagestheatre #oregon #portland #eugene https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu8AFMpgBCv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11hmrak2mk1ox

1/2 3/9/19 Dispatches from the Road. DAY OFF! Which means laundry. Then I walked my way to downtown Bellingham and explored.

3/8/19 Dispatches from the road. Woke up this morning to our old friend Mr. Snow but he moved on and thing cleared up. Finished our run in Bellevue with two shows this morning, struck and then headed north to Bellingham. Saw some beautiful scenery, some unpleasant traffic and then reached our destination. And we saw a GD Rainbow! After settling in for a moment, we headed downtown on the recommendation of @jennbetancourt to the @rookandrogue for games and drinks and a complimentary pint glass! Tomorrow I have the day off and will be exploring Bellingham. #theoneandonlyivan #freewaygorillas #lifelinetheatre #nationaltour #washington #meydenbauercenter #bellevue #bellingham #rookandrogue #whatdoyoumeme #cranium #cardsagainstmuggles (at Bellingham, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buxv1EPA4ui/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r156ewbg68p5

3/7/19 Dispatches from the Road. Bellevue (beautiful view). Set up and did two shows at the Meydenbauer Center. After, I went walkabout, discovered (re-discovered, yet again) that I am woefully out of shape as I walked up and down the many hills of Bellevue. Had dinner at Nibbana, a wonderful Thai restaurant, and now am in Jammies in my bed, Two more shows here tomorrow, then we head back north to Bellingham for the weekend. #theoneandonlyivan #freewaygorillas #lifelinetheatre #nationaltour #washington #meydenbauercenter #bellevue (at Bellevue, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buu-JZMAb2d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5ukvsedyf0q9

3/6/19 Dispatches from the road. Finished our run in Everett, packed up the truck and moved to Bellevue-ly. Or actually Bellevue. Not a whole lot of sight seeing or scenery today (due to the return of our old friend Mr. Snow.) But had some dinner and now crashed out in the room. Load in and two shows in the morning. #theoneandonlyivan #freewaygorillas #lifelinetheatre #nationaltour #washington #everett #bellevue (at Everett, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BusbPbmASkV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8va6dz8jht32

3/5/19 Dispatches from the road. ANOTHER two shows. AMAZING. Of course only after a fire alarm went off. But we saw some beautiful scenery while we were waiting in the parking lot. Over the course of two shows the #freewaygorillas got to perform Ivan for 2600 kids. We had to do a mini-strike after since there was a concert in the same venue tonight, and then we went back to the hotel. Then I did a little walkabout around town and to the FUNKO Headquarters which was a blast. A few of us went to dinner at the Scuttlebutt Brewery and finished with a nightcap at the Anchor Pub - the oldest bar in Everett! Established in 1907. And right near the site of The Everett Massacre. They also have a rule there that when a train goes by you can order a $1.00 PBR. Tomorrow we have two more shows in Everett, then we pack up the the set and head back south to Bellevue. #theoneandonlyivan #freewaygorillas #lifelinetheatre #nationaltour #washington #everett #funko #theanchorpubeverett (at Everett, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bup-4SSAfnP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o2ccu3jf9ywz
